Thanks to yours truly, you can now check in at away games, and they're worth more points than home games.

I like the idea of away games being worth something, but more than a home game?

well it means you are dedicated enough to follow the team. It rewards you for paying extra money to travel with the team. Those that travel will with few exceptions be the ones that attend every home games too. I attend at least one away UAB football game every year. (I switched out for a Falcons game this year because our away weren't close enough for driving)

Memphis traveled very well for a basketball game last Saturday night. If we can create a home field advantage (or neutralize theirs ) at close away games i.e. Troy, USM, MTSU, Memphis, etc etc it will only help our team.

Hell yeah dude. Going to the Rutgers game could've been like 10,000.

Well, I did make it back home at 2 am when we played at USM last time.

I will get points Saturday!

Me too! I'm glad the USGA is bussing students to the game for free. I think there's another school group bussing too - maybe the alumni association or Blazer Rebounders. I better not be lonely down there!
